Superintendent Fred Emery 4
Direction of Affairs,
George Metzler, know far and wide
as "Mike," sold his barber shop on
the Square on Saturday to Horace
Smith, who has been holding down a
chair in the establishment for five
years. "Mike's" friends—and he has
so many he can't count them between
sunrise and sunset—regret his departure from the business life of North
Canton, and if their good wishes are
going to make him wealthy, then he
is already a* millionaire many times.
He is a fine lad, is Mike, game to the
core, and a thorough gentleman.
Horace Smith is a young man who
takes life seriously, and he is a first-
class barber witii an ambition to
make his shop,one of the best, in
every way, in the county. He is married and is the father of two children.
Women and children will receive every
courtesy in liis establishment, and it
is predicted that lie will make his shop
popular with women as well as men.
Assisting Turn are Norman Ream, Carl
Burkhart and Bill Metzler, all experienced workmen. \
And spealdng of barbers, let it be
recorded right here that North Canton has two good shops on the Square
and in each will "be found expert and
courteous mechanics. Mays and
Evans, like the others, need never
blush for heads and faces after leaving their chairs.

screen, is featured with "Vera Gordon1
and Louise Fazenda in the Warner

The citizens of Hartville ind its
vicinity welcome Superintended; Fred
Emery to the community and. pledge
their support and co-operation towards
making the coming year one! of the
most successful that the community
has yet experienced. j
Indeed, the outlook is very bright,
for with the opening of the school
-season of .1927-1928 the recently .completed new school building will be
occupied. This is a modernly; equipped and complete structure more
about which will be published ih an
early issue of The Sun.
The important phase of sciool activities, however is and alwiys will
be centered about the person: lities of
those in whose hands have leen entrusted the guiding of the ninds of
young people. Superintenden. Emery
seems to have a broad background of
valuable service and trainiig that
makes his success in Hartvfll a foregone conclusion.
Conies From Seneca Cointy
He comes to this^comimmiy direct
from the school system of Jackson
Township, Seneca county, Ohi>, where
his work was productive of successful results. Prior to that tine, ~M.r.
Emery occupied the responsible position of principal of schrools n Belle-
fontaine, Ohio, for three y< irs. He

To Superintendent' Emery, -we extend a cordial and hearty veicome,
and our best wishes for a mil mea
sure of success in hs eomimjnity.
The Redpath chautauqua will return to North Canton for a week's
stay in 1928. That fact was decided
upon before the final performance for
this year was given under the big
tent on Saturday, Sept. 3. In his
speech in the evening in which he
thanked the people of. North Canton
and its vicinity for their loyal support
of the Redpath program, Wm. Slater,
superintendent, declared that the sale
of tickets had gone well "over the
top" and that nowhere had the company and the crew found nicer people
to deal with.
He said he had talked with many
citizens, and that they were "very
well pleased with the programs." Mr.
Slater complimented this community
in high terms for its intelligence and
substantial mode of living, and said
he was speaking truthfully when ha
asserted that nowhere did the people
show the keen discrimination he found
in North Canton. He asserted it was
"a great pleasure to close ths season
here because it left in the minds of
those having the chautauqua program
in charge a sweet remembrance of a
strenuous season." Enough names
wei*e secured to fetch chautauqua back
in 1928.
C. T. McAfee was high man this
year as ticket seller for tlie Redpath
chautauqua. This makes six years in
succession Mac has won the title,
and he has in his home a silver cup
which he declares reminds him of "the
many-good friends I have in North
Canton, for which I daily am thankful."

'THE WORD OF GOD"
What Clergymen Saw In Oklahoma

From Oklahoma a missionary
writes,-"I learned of a saw mill camp
far back in the Jack Fork Mountains
After much ' difficulty, walking over
rough and • rugged roads, *• .1 came to
what is known as 'Last Carry-On.'
Here was the saw mill land a large
number of Saanilies. The place is
forty miles from a railroad and the
same distance from a church. It was
soon noised that a preacher was in
the camp. As I want from house to
house, children accompanied me, listening mast attentively to the story
of Jesus jafetured on the cards I had
given them. Hardly a family owned
any part of God's word but those wW
did not were serai supplied. These
boys and jgirls never went to a Sum-
day-schoo8. We -arranged to carry
them eight miles to a school I had
organized at another point until a
place could be completed for meeting
in the camp."

The Missionary society will meet
next Wednesday at 7:30 for the September meeting. A special program
has been prepared by Mrs. R. P.

carried its program right through the

the losers in the summer contest. Witwer park pavilion has every convenience and a good supper will be served,
after which a program will be rendered in which both parties will participate. All members and friends of
the church are invited.
Our young folks have begun already
to leave for the colleges. We dislike
to have these young helpers leave us,
but we are pleased that so many are
taking advantage of the opportunities
for an education. Our best wishes and I
prayers go with them.
The services on Sunday were exceptionally well -attended for Labor
day Sunday, which is always a low
attendance 'day. The Sunday-school
as well as the church service exceeded |
the attendance tif last year.
Miss Louise Lewis sang a special
number at the morning worship. We
cannot complain about our summer
attendance bat we expect that with
the opening of the schools all phases
of the work will increase in quantity
at least.
We will hawe only the morning service next Snnday, the Sunday-school
and the woasihip, but beginning on
the third Sunday, the 18th, we will

Copley Apartment House On West
Bachtel Slightly Damaged.
North Canton's fire department answered a call to the Copely apartments on W. Bachtel street this
(Wednesday) afternoon at 1:30. A
member of the H. J. Snyder family,
residents of the apartment, was cleaning a man's suit with gasoline and a
blaze ensued.
Neighbors were pouring water on
the flames when the department arrived. The firemen finished the blaze.
The house was only slightly dam
aged, but the suit was entirely destroyed.
Earl Schick, chairman of the Republican township committee, put
aside politics this Wednesday morning
when he went to Canton and filed with
the election officials a complete nonpartisan ticket composed of men and
one woman who have served the people of North Canton most faithfully
during the past two years.
A petition was circulated on Tuesday evening in which Mayor Logan
W. Becher and the members of Council were asked to stand for re-election.
Knowing the excellent work these servants of the public have performed
there was absolutely no trouble in
securing signatures. The Sun is in a
position to know that no one on the
ticket, including Mayor Becher, moved
a hand to get a renomination; as a
matter of truth they would gladly
have stepped aside for others, but evidently the people reached the conclusion that their officials were "going
along nicely," and that it would be
poor policy to change existing conditions.
Here is the ticket filed by Earl
Schick this morning:
For Mayor—Logan W. Becher.
For Council—Grace Baughman,
Frank Evans, Charles Mead, Dr. M.
M. Rubright, Charles Schafer, Grover
Wolf.
For Board of Public Affairs—Leo
Kolp, E. W. Brong. (Claud Taylor
and Harvey Brown, present members
of the Board had not fired today, and
it is said that they do not desire reelection.
For Village Treasurer—Guy Price.
Two For Village Clerk
Several days ago Ed McCarty, the
present village clerk, filed for clerk,
and so did -Lester Braucjifcr.
Two menibers of the School Board,
A. A. Swope and Tom Warburton, are
candidates for re-election. They have
no opposition.
Four Want To Be Marshal
The present police marshal, Ray
Bachtel, has filed for renomination.
Three others -want the nomination.
They are: John Curry, John Kauffman
and Laurin Snodgrass.
As usual, the township develops a '
contest, and C. C. Holl, Percival Surbey, Grover Zerbe and Buchman
are candidates for trustee.
Others will file for township offices before Friday, the last day allowed them to file, but when The Sun
went to press this Wednesday the
ticket was as presented above.
COUNCIL MEETING
Sunday Family Reunions in Park To>

Owing to a number of complaints-
lodged by local residents, Council decided last night (Tuesday) to prohibit reunions and picnics in Witwer
park pavilion on Sundays during 192S.
The pavilion will be open to residents of North Canton on Sunday
afternoons and evenings next year, .
but the general public will he barred, ,

Superintendent Fred Emery 4
Direction of Affairs,
George Metzler, know far and wide
as "Mike," sold his barber shop on
the Square on Saturday to Horace
Smith, who has been holding down a
chair in the establishment for five
years. "Mike's" friends—and he has
so many he can't count them between
sunrise and sunset—regret his departure from the business life of North
Canton, and if their good wishes are
going to make him wealthy, then he
is already a* millionaire many times.
He is a fine lad, is Mike, game to the
core, and a thorough gentleman.
Horace Smith is a young man who
takes life seriously, and he is a first-
class barber witii an ambition to
make his shop,one of the best, in
every way, in the county. He is married and is the father of two children.
Women and children will receive every
courtesy in liis establishment, and it
is predicted that lie will make his shop
popular with women as well as men.
Assisting Turn are Norman Ream, Carl
Burkhart and Bill Metzler, all experienced workmen. \
And spealdng of barbers, let it be
recorded right here that North Canton has two good shops on the Square
and in each will "be found expert and
courteous mechanics. Mays and
Evans, like the others, need never
blush for heads and faces after leaving their chairs.

Copley Apartment House On West
Bachtel Slightly Damaged.
North Canton's fire department answered a call to the Copely apartments on W. Bachtel street this
(Wednesday) afternoon at 1:30. A
member of the H. J. Snyder family,
residents of the apartment, was cleaning a man's suit with gasoline and a
blaze ensued.
Neighbors were pouring water on
the flames when the department arrived. The firemen finished the blaze.
The house was only slightly dam
aged, but the suit was entirely destroyed.
Earl Schick, chairman of the Republican township committee, put
aside politics this Wednesday morning
when he went to Canton and filed with
the election officials a complete nonpartisan ticket composed of men and
one woman who have served the people of North Canton most faithfully
during the past two years.
A petition was circulated on Tuesday evening in which Mayor Logan
W. Becher and the members of Council were asked to stand for re-election.
Knowing the excellent work these servants of the public have performed
there was absolutely no trouble in
securing signatures. The Sun is in a
position to know that no one on the
ticket, including Mayor Becher, moved
a hand to get a renomination; as a
matter of truth they would gladly
have stepped aside for others, but evidently the people reached the conclusion that their officials were "going
along nicely," and that it would be
poor policy to change existing conditions.
Here is the ticket filed by Earl
Schick this morning:
For Mayor—Logan W. Becher.
For Council—Grace Baughman,
Frank Evans, Charles Mead, Dr. M.
M. Rubright, Charles Schafer, Grover
Wolf.
For Board of Public Affairs—Leo
Kolp, E. W. Brong. (Claud Taylor
and Harvey Brown, present members
of the Board had not fired today, and
it is said that they do not desire reelection.
For Village Treasurer—Guy Price.
Two For Village Clerk
Several days ago Ed McCarty, the
present village clerk, filed for clerk,
and so did -Lester Braucjifcr.
Two menibers of the School Board,
A. A. Swope and Tom Warburton, are
candidates for re-election. They have
no opposition.
Four Want To Be Marshal
The present police marshal, Ray
Bachtel, has filed for renomination.
Three others -want the nomination.
They are: John Curry, John Kauffman
and Laurin Snodgrass.
As usual, the township develops a '
contest, and C. C. Holl, Percival Surbey, Grover Zerbe and Buchman
are candidates for trustee.
Others will file for township offices before Friday, the last day allowed them to file, but when The Sun
went to press this Wednesday the
ticket was as presented above.
COUNCIL MEETING

park pavilion on Sundays during 192S.

afternoons and evenings next year, .
